Will not run when trigger pulled .
Obviously, make sure the machine is unplugged before carrying out any electrical work.You will need to test/check a few things to eliminate possible causes of the problem. Best thing to check first is the brushes. There should be a small screw cover on either side of the back end of the motor. The may be stuck with sawdust so remove the covers and gently pull the brush out. The running face should be nice and shiny where it runs against the commutator/armature. If these are fine, before replacing them, check the wiring inside the plug. Next, check the continuity along the cable from the plug to where it enters the switch. If you only have continuity along one side there is a break in the inner core. This normally occurs near the plug or near the handle where the cable is under most tension. Remove the cable from the plug and pull the faulty core to see if it comes out, if not, do the same at the switch end. If it does come out you can just shorten the cable and hey presto. If there is no continuity and the core is fine at both ends you will have to replace the whole length.If the cable isn't the problem then test from the switch to the brush holders. One side will go to one holder and the other side to the other holder. If the brushes are back in place you may not get a true reading as they will complete a circuit through the motor. If this is also ok then you can check the switch by going to opposing terminals and switching it on and off. If in doubt, most switches will have a basic diagram on them showing what terminals switch against each other.
Why my Makita disc cutter has spark wont start
If the fuel in it is 2 or more months old dump it out and put in fresh fuel and try statring. Also try try a squirt of starting fluid into the carb. If it fires on it you may need to do this a few times to pull the old fuel in the lines through till the fresh fuel can get to the carb.

Clean grease off terracotta tiles
There are a couple of things you could try. I recently came across a specific grout/tile cleaner that works well. You can buy it online. It is a type of cream that you spread over the grease and leave for a while. After it has set, you can use a toothbrush (for best results) to scrub off the soap and grease. Otherwise, you can try magic eraser. Those can be used on tiles and get off a lot. Tiles make up such a great aspect of the house, I hope you can clean them up.
